Abstract: The method and device for double-conversion of carbon dioxide and water to methanol, comprise converting carbon monoxide (2) to carbon dioxide (1) and oxygen (3) and water vapor to hydrogen and oxygen in an unit consisting of twin devices, guiding carbon dioxide flowing through an inlet tube (16) by using a channel, which is in the form of a dextrorotatory spiral with a rectangular cross-section of anticyclone section and a levorotatory spiral with a rectangular cross-section of cyclone section, and pumping the carbon dioxide into an intermediate storage at an operating pressure of 2-50 bar. The method and device for double-conversion of carbon dioxide and water to methanol, comprise converting carbon monoxide (2) to carbon dioxide (1) and oxygen (3) and water vapor to hydrogen and oxygen in an unit consisting of twin devices, guiding carbon dioxide flowing through an inlet tube (16) by using a channel, which is in the form of a dextrorotatory spiral with a rectangular cross-section of anticyclone section and a levorotatory spiral with a rectangular cross-section of cyclone section, and pumping the carbon dioxide into an intermediate storage at an operating pressure of 2-50 bar by using a pump (13) and then admitting the carbon dioxide from the intermediate storage into a center of the anticyclone section under pressure by an electromagnetically controlled inlet valve, where the carbon dioxide moves with high speed within the channel. The water from a supply container that is not represented is held by a pump that is not represented under a pressure of 2-50 bar, is guided by the electromagnetically controlled inlet valve in the direction of the cyclone section, admits as water vapor under pressure through the inlet tube into the center of the cyclone section after heating through a heating tube formed by occurrence of a heating region, and moves at high speed within the channel. The channel guides the water vapor flowing through the inlet tube. The flowing carbon dioxide in the area of the anticyclone section and water vapor in the area of the cyclone section are heated by the heating tube and by a further heating tube in an inlet area at an operating temperature of 600-900[deg] C, where the heating tubes are flowed through by a suitable gas, which transmits the thermal energy from an external heat source. The high temperature of the carbon dioxide guides within the anticyclone section for thermal partial ionization after the reaction that is carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide ions and oxygen ions, and the high temperature of the water vapor guides within the cyclone section for thermal partial ionization after the reaction that is water to hydrogen ions and oxygen ions. The ionization is enhanced in the area directly after the inlet tube by flat coils made of metal practiced in an insulating layer of the side walls of the anticyclone section and cyclone section or the inlet tube, which is connected to an external high frequency generator, where an electromagnetic field develops with a frequency of 1-1000 kHz in the surrounding carbon dioxide and water vapor. A magnetic field with the induction (B) flows through the entire anticyclone section and cyclone section in the area of the poles vertical to it. The charging of particles of oxygen ions forms charge carrier flow during charging of particles of carbon monoxide ions and during charging of particles of hydrogen ions. The charge carrier flow inter-reacts with the magnetic induction and guides for the development of forces (F=i.dlx B), which press the oxygen ion particles to the outer wall (b), the carbon monoxide particles to the inner wall (a) of the anticyclone section and the hydrogen particles to the inner wall (a) of the cyclone section, while the neutral remaining carbon dioxide remains in the center because it loses its loads, further particles form through thermal ionization.
